Yes - that is normal. There wont be an "automatic
shutdown" if you 
script an office via API. You have to terminate it
explicitly.

Please use the one instance service
"com.sun.star.frame.Desktop".
It's interface method XDesktop.terminate() will try to
terminate the 
office. "Try" means: modifgied documents will show
the well known 
message box (saving ? yes/no) ... even a quickstarter can
hinder these 
method on doing it's job. But under normal circumstances it
will do the 
same then "File->Exit".

Another "kill" without any UI, ignoring modified
documents etcpp. does 
not exists ... excepting "kill -sighup
<processid>" .-)
